So, slight change of plan. I've applied to Derby Uni to do Social Work Part Time from September. I intend to do first year part time over 2 years, then second and third year full time when Esther starts school.
Why the change of plan? I decided it might be better to do undergrad social work rather than postgrad social work because I think it'll be better for the children if I do it more spread out, less work, less intense. If I do postgrad social work it's just under 2 years, full time, I will have to do it in Nottingham, it will be hard work, quite intense and I assume more stress. I think doing undergrad will fit in better with family life. I reckon first year, part time as a mature student has got to be a doss!! So we'll see if I get an interview and a place. I can get a bursary for my tuition feeds, but will have to pay my childcare. So here's to hoping and praying I get a place! :-)
